The bigger picture

Anthony Andrews 5min

When most people think about celibacy, if at all, they think of deprivation, like choosing to not eat a very good piece of chocolate cake. Even if you don’t think of it that way perhaps you try to rationalise or understand it using another metaphor. This is to be expected since most of us try to understand new concepts using a metaphor in our own mental archive, or at least that’s what the psychologists tell us. This short film tries to understand celibacy using a new and different metaphor, one which you might not agree with but one which might help you understand this strange and possibly new concept. It is a positive metaphor, one which tries to explain what celibacy is and not what it is devoid of. Along the way you will meet two marvellous people who put faces to the concepts and metaphors.
